Amaraizu noted that the ban was due to their explosives safety and security implications.
He said: “Their usages are capable of diverting the attention of security agencies from knowing when things are going wrong in our environment.
“It could also ignite an inferno when thrown either knowingly or unknowingly to inflammable materials in our environment and considering the dry season and its associated situations.’’
